Challenges face European RV market

(Jan. 21, 2013) -- The European Union is developing a standard drivers license to replace the licenses currently required by each member country, he added. A special license will be required for anyone driving or towing a vehicle heavier than 3.5 kilograms. Smaller engines in smaller cars are also making it difficult for people to tow trailers with their existing cars, said Cordeille. The customer base is aging in Europe to the point that there are nearly as many people riding scooters as are walking through RV shows, he noted.
